The heart is a garden that needs to be maintained well, keeping weeds out and tending to the growth of what you intend to develop. A pure heart is one that recognises divinity within oneself, within every person, within everything. Blessed Families educate children and adolescents to cultivate this purity especially by developing their character and by relating with the people around them as members of their extended family.

The blossoming of one’s purity permits a mature man or woman to enter into marriage and create a family upon a foundation of preparedness and commitment. The married love of such couples has scope to grow because the purity of their sexual love had been guarded securely during its development.

The relationship between a husband and a wife is exclusive. It is one based on a love that lives for the sake of the other; it is committed to a shared purpose; there is full equality between the marriage partners. The love between husband and wife is also the genesis of life itself. To safeguard the importance of this relationship, Blessed Families recognise and uphold the importance of fidelity within marriage; it is a sacred relationship that must be safeguarded, a holy of holies that occupies the most central position in the temple of the family, which is worthy of respect and celebration.
